I also tried everything in order to create a playlist for PC-Engine CD games. Scanning .img files actually added games to the playlist, but they did not work at all once they were added. The only way to play is to load the content manually.

Edit 1: After compressing most of my games into chd format, 4 out of the 41 games that I have actually scanned correctly (including The Addams Family and Sherlock Holmes Volume 1). For the other games, I just manually edited the lpl file using the CRC codes provided here:

It is not an ideal solution, but it works.

If you’re on PC, use the Desktop Interface, make a new playlist with right click on the playlist listing.
Then select it, right click on the blank area of the main content window, select “add folder”.
You can now select your folder that contains your cd images, add the extensions you want (usually cue) and they’ll be added.
